What are you looking for today?
How it works.
I create.
I create engaging books about Swedish culture and traditions that kids love. The books are bilingual, beautifully illustrated, and specially developed for kids learning Swedish abroad. You can choose between traditional paperbacks or PDF downloads.
You read.
You decide how to read the book to your kids: For example, one parent could read the book in Swedish, and the other in English.
Alternatively, you could read the whole book in both languages in one sitting - or just in Swedish if your kids are confident with the language.
They learn.
Over time your kids’ Swedish vocabulary will build-up, and they’ll learn lots about their Swedish roots through the wonderful world of books.
A positive side effect includes non-Swedish-speaking parents learning along with their kids!

What my readers say
“I have been reading this book for my 21 month old and she really enjoys it! The pictures are cute and I like that it is typical Swedish things that you are counting. For me as a mom does it feel great to smile on each page since I am recognizing all this things from growing up in Sweden. My daughter that is born is USA will never experience it the same way that I did, that’s why I think this book is great of showing the typical Swedish things and what a great way of doing it by counting too!”
— Five star Amazon review for ‘Counting Sweden’
“Great book to teach the Swedish culture and language from an early age. My 2 year old son loved looking at the beautiful pictures and trying to say the words in Swedish. I recommend it to anyone with a Swedish heritage that wants to teach this culture to their little one.”
